IT Engineer

C# Software Developer (with Networking & IT Systems exposure) Location:
Wrexham, North Wales
Salary: £35,000 + excellent benefits

Our client is a leader in developing manufacturing tech and on their behalf we re looking for a sharp, hands-on C# developer who loves building real-world applications that make a genuine difference on the factory floor and in the office.

This isn t a typical helpdesk role. Yes, you ll be the go-to person for the company s IT systems, but the main focus is writing clean, maintainable code primarily in C# .NET Core to extend and improve the client's in-house manufacturing and business platforms. Networking and infrastructure are part of the mix (because everything you build has to talk to the real world), but they re secondary to solid programming skills.

THE ROLE

• Designing and building new features and tools in C# .NET Core (this is the bulk of the role)
• Maintaining and enhancing our existing bespoke applications
• Writing scripts and automation tools in Python/PHP when it makes sense
• Occasional Laravel/PHP work on internal web tools
• Helping keep the infrastructure running smoothly (Windows/Linux servers, Active Directory, VMware, Office 365, backups, Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi, Fortinet firewalls, etc.)
• Configuring switches, firewalls, laptops, Raspberry Pis and label printers when needed
• Supporting users (mostly remotely via Teams) but this is light compared to the development work
• Creating BI dashboards and playing with AI/automation ideas

YOU

• First and foremost: strong C# .NET Core skills you enjoy writing code more than resetting passwords
• Comfortable with modern development tools (Git Hub, VS Code, Jira, etc.)
• Happy to touch infrastructure when required you understand networking basics, Active Directory, servers, VMware, etc. (you don t need to be a CCNA, just not scared of it)
• Bonus points if you ve worked with SQL Server, IIS, REST APIs, or have any manufacturing/warehouse exposure
• Minimum HNC/HND or degree in Computer Science / Software Development (or equivalent experience)
• 1 2 years+ commercial programming experience (more is fine too)

Why you ll love it here

• You get to own and shape real products used every day by hundreds of people
• Proper variety one day you re adding a new feature in C#, the next you re deploying a Raspberry Pi on the shop floor
• Forward-thinking company that s genuinely investing in digital transformation and AI
• Small, friendly IT team no corporate red tape
• Great package: enhanced pension, private healthcare, heavily subsidised canteen, 25 days holiday + banks, hybrid flexibility

If you re a C# developer who wants to stay close to the metal, see your code make an immediate impact, and doesn t mind rolling up your sleeves on the occasional bit of networking or infrastructure, this could be perfect.
